Drug monitoring
The app is full of drug addicts, sellers and people that put at risk others with their substances.
I see so many people here in Mexico selling cristal or slam and a lot of users of it, using emojis to hide their substance usage.
I believes both a feature that monitors this emojis they use to talk about said substances is much needed, even it making a report to the police.
For other substances such as Alcohol, tabaco, marihuana and poppers there should be a block for people that do not want to match with others that do.

Leave people alone and let them enjoy the escape that their substances bring them. Life isn't hard enough without people being all up in everyone's business.
If they aren't trying to make you use or be involved with their habit then move with your day and find something else to get all worked up over.
Btw- last time I checked this is primarily a social/hookup app that is all about inclusion... and here all I see is a bunch of people trying to EXCLUDE and SEGREGATE our community further

Why people always expect someone else to do the dirty job in their place? What about you ignoring those who use drugs? Maybe if people would spend time with eachother have a chat unconditionally about anything expecting nothing in return there would be less drug users worldwide. We living in a pandemic of ignorance full of self entitled narcissists individuals who only care about their problems and judging everyone else like they have some kind of superior values.
I rather meet a drug user then someone who is not able to do anything else apart from judging others. And from a psychological viewpoint you sound like you are full of insecurities. Your comment disclose more about yourself then those you trying to criticise.
I hope you will be able to make peace with yourself!

Maintaining distance from those who use illicit substances is the default with Grindr….. It’s pretty hard to share drugs with someone sitting on the other side of the couch let alone the country…. Grindr requires jeeres to be 18 years or older. They are by definition, adults. Harm minimisation thru education and support is more effective and considered. Excluding anyone from their social network thru bans or invading privacy is unusual and cruel. Why not use the online platform that Grindr is to engage in something with greater potential for long erm good than an erect penis is likely to achieve.

There's already things implemented to auto ban those who promote drug use and selling. I got banned for drug promotion because I was talking about GARDENING FUCKING GARDENING because of the word "pot" 32 emails and 3 months later I finally got my account back because of this bullshit, i had to send so much personal info and pictures to grindr that i dont even send to people on the app. It's so humiliating to have to do certain poses they requested while holding a paper that included personal info and a time stamp just to please people like you, All because lazy asses like you can't grow up and just use the block tool. I don't like hardcore drug use either it's sad to see people in my community offering up their body for it... ironic you're from Mexico complaining about it, you guys fill up our country with enough of it and fentanyl. How about instead of barking at grindr to solve your problem you get involved with your country?

Please monitor bios or names stating HF because people are using drugs and putting others lives in risk without knowing the appropriate dosage.

Grindr consistently bans people for drug code/talk but have you looked at the large emojis the provide that are drug emojis.

Whatever dude I'm a grown ass if I wanna parTy jump in in and join or shut up and do it your second thing look on I've been experimenting with drugs most my life!!! That biggest drug would be the most not only legal but thrust upon us so I haven't had a drink in over 5 or so years I don't know how long cause I didn't make some epic decision to not other than it started to taste gross to me so I decided it wasn't for me! I smoke weed daily and yeah I go on T and cocaine benders so that's my drink! So do your research like I have and you'll be surprised to find alcohol is the best worst most addictive of them all so go call the police that's a laugh

Hmmm.. I get where you’re coming from. Although, a bit aggressive, someone might think this was personal. It’s kind of discriminatory to just ban ppl who are admitting- in a way- that they are drug users. Now are there sellers on the app that are just looking for ways to screw ppl over to make money for more drugs when they should’ve bought some soap? Abso-fucking-lutely. But like… a report to police of that users info??? Seems vindictive and dare I say “privileged” of you to think before maybe thinking “Grindr should send a user who uses these emojis in their bio ads to rehabs, counseling, testing centers, etc.” for some addicts, it’s all they’ve known due to their rearing when a parent just didn’t care; not entirely their fault due to someone they trusted telling them, while already uneducated, that “it’ll be okay, just do it for tonight”. So many of older men on this app, especially ones who use meth talk about how their uncle/dad fucked them at 13. And somehow they don’t see how fucked that is. Or maybe they do. And they’re coping the only way that’s “worked” for them so far. So. Idk. Like I said, I get where you’re coming from. However, don’t be so surface level and think a little deeper.. broader.. more openly. Because you could just literally block them when you see them… or is that too much work?? Hm.

The key sentence: "There should be a block for people that do not want to match with others that do."
Essentially, this sentence says everything that needs to be said, regardless of the "Reason" chosen by ANY user. This simple "Block" function (coding wise) SHOULD already exist for the simple reason of user personal safety and the ability for anyone to basically say, "yeah, I don't want that user seeing me, and I don't want to see that user." It's not rocket science; but rather Content Management System coding "basics".
Grindr's outright refusal to act upon this "fact" (beyond endless "excuses" and worse, attempting to profit by claiming to have monetized this feature for "Paying" members, when in fact it doesn't even work for members shelling out their hard earned money either), should be the best indicator that Grindr OPENLY does not care about user safety or security (at any level) and thus this application should be avoided for that undeniable and inexcusable reason alone.
This app COULD be decent and allow whatever types to connect at their various levels (keywords needs significant improvement); but instead it chooses to not improve, to not evolve and at every level of functionality, to basically not care about the user-base whatsoever, instead choosing only a path to solicit advertising revenue and get suckers to pay, even if just for a month; because why the hell not, its free money for doing nothing.
Basically, Grindr is maintained enough ONLY to be "compatible" so as not get booted from the Apple App store (and Apply only cares about getting their cut).
If your personal safety or security, or having the basic ability to block ANY user (for any reason) is an important "basic feature" that you would naturally, rationally expect to exist within ANY social media app; put simply and frankly, Grindr is wrong for you as it has no such protections. Safety and security are not issues Grindr cares about, as evidenced by the sheer number of times this specific issue has been raised, over such a long period of time and how it has gone completely ignored.
That's pretty much it.

First of all Mr judgy, how has this impacted your life so? To thine own self be true.. sometimes when we want to go ALL in and fix every little thing the way you deem it should be, there's a little something about yourself that might be saying, gee did I spell that right. That's what needs an adjustment, ppl who can't spell for shit and wanna take away a poor little ol innocent emoji. Find a real cause and stop trying to be teacher's/grindrs pet. Woof!

i hate..
..well, what i hate, is when one's recreational / "coping" activities end up hurting themselves and/or others(drugs, of themselves, are not really the issue)
the fact is: if some people want to indulge, even to the point of destructiveness, people are
(you gotta remember, even "good" things can be abused / detrimental, when consumed excessively)
i bet some of you would be surprised to know, for example, "junkies" are not at all a new phenomenon, popping up in the 1980s, or 1970s, or even the 1960s
verily — heroine, opiates, cocaine, even meth, *were* indeed commercially retailed to the general public for general consumption, in the 1800s, up through.. ..the 1950s
full stop
these drugs eventually were available on shelves, for any and all, without any especial regulation
"laudanum"
i imagine some children partook, considering most people simply could not have known better
innocent babes, thusly, to become eventual, unwitting "junkies"
(how many mothers pre-damaged their children in the womb, from filling their bodies with dangerous substances which were marketed as Salubrious?)in the 1800s
=====
look
if you want to be done with the drug problem..
..eliminating drugs isn't the solution
unfortunatelyno
you'll need to curb the natural, (in)human affinity for getting high(the innate affinity for attaining and sustaining that dope-amine rush—
—no matter the consequences)
well?
how do you propose making that happen?
=====
as for grindR's role in all this?
basically: grindR simply is the ghetto of hookup apps
and i make this deliberation as a black man who was raised in (and fairly-bruised by) the ghetto;
while there are some good souls here and there..
..there are also many, many bad apples to be found throughoutin case you weren't aware, you cannot reasonably expect that much from said Damaged Goods — you can't, regardless of who did the damaging, or how the damage was incurred
look
if people don't peddle / solicit their coke or their meth on the platform directly, they'll either use code language, or code pictures (snow, clouds, ice cubes, etc.), or they'll simply conduct their transactions off-line, to get the job done
people's creativity, for doing things they should not be, is nigh-unlimited
=====
people *are* going to get high, irrespective of what you or i might feel about their potential recklessness..
..perhaps, we really should begin to focus on harm reduction, and the decriminalization of simple recreational use, so long as the user can uphold their end of the bargain, to remain productive members of society, who cause no harm to the collective with their [habit]an even better idea might be, formulating drugs which can provide the high of the most potent meth, with the side effects of the most normal medium-roast coffee (2 cups)
´like, i dunno..
..pertaining to the drugs themselves: aren't the /real/ Real Issues with these, the addiction to the dope-amine hit the brain develops.. ..and the withdrawal which the body goes through when the brain doesn't get its "baba" in time? -

I understand there is a drug problem that people want to try to fix, but the problem as a whole is actually a compound issue from the prohibition itself. South America and North America are at war right now in all sense of the word. the drug war is fueled by the South American cartels and the people in America that want to buy the drugs and everywhere else and the United States DEA. It's the one war that is absolutely impossible to win and when Nixon declared it it was the stupidest move that could have possibly happened because it just made people continuously double down and double down on the prohibition problem and the truth is, in order for our society to get back to being normal and being healthy we actually need to have LESS rules and law not more.(It may seem counter productive, but trust dealers won't sell valueless things. And once you can get a bottle of oxycontin from Walmart over the counter for a $1.50 for a hundred of them like Tylenol I would bet my life and my mother's life and my family's lives on the fact that the opiate epidemic would stop very quickly after that. There would be a re-correction time where some people would go overboard and May overdose because they get the access at the very beginning but in order for all of us to have a healthy society we basically need to give ourselves the freedom back that we deserve and that's in our rights and if somebody loses their life because they were given that freedom then that's their freedom. Freedom is the answer. Do I think it's right for people to openly sell drugs where anyone can see it on Grindr no. But I think that the entire Market should be saturated with drugs to the point where the forbidden fruit Factor gets lost in the value of the stuff is gone if we flood the market with it then the drug dealers won't be able to sell it anymore because it won't have any value that's the only way to win the war on drugs. And we are very bigoted and judgmental in this country and we need to wake up to how the rest of the world runs. Humans will always have addiction that's how we move from one fad to another that's how we live our lives is going from one thing to another that we absorb our lives around whether that's going to be something healthy or something dangerous that's up to you but the main thing is if it's dangerous or unhealthy it's usually because people go out of their way and do terrible things when they don't have the medication when they get in trouble.
